If you're doing it everyday and that makes you feel uncomfortable, you are probably addicted to it. (Not in the regular sense of the word, but in an emotional way). The best way to stop is to find something enjoyable to do during the time which you usually masturbate. For example, when you want to do it, go out with a friend instead (lol, I realize this isn't always possible). Or exercise, watch a movie, read a book. Get into the habit of doing something else. Hopefully after a while you'll notice you don't have the urge to do it so often.

HOpe this helps :)

Most men can't stop thinking of sex and masturbate daily. Why would you want to prevent it?

Reagrding the confidence issue you should take a look at the book called The Game by Neil Strauss. Kinda of like Hitch. The Amazon reviews are good. This should help you and you should become more successful with women over time.

hello,
i dont know if your male or female, im 62 and i still masterbate almost every day because it feels good! maybe you should read the bible when you get the urge sometimes and it may help you. but if it feels good do it!!!

Hi,
If you haven't do so already, I would recommend that you see a counselor/therapist (and perhaps a medical doc)regarding your various problems why you aren't confident.

Regarding masturbation, the only way you will maturbate less is to control your mind. It's not easy but with practice you can train your self to think of and focus on something else until the desire subsides. For example, when I have a negative thought about something or someone I recite scripture or go through my personal and work to do list in my head. It took a while for it to work. So you must keep trying to think of something else when you start thinking of sex. It will need to be something powerful because sexual thought and drive is very powerful.

Also, you may need to deal with sexual images that you see in movies and such. You should avoid them. Yes...this is hard because sex sells and it's everywhere. However, what I've had to do (for my celibacy) is avoid magazine, movies and conversations with sexual content. That has helped me tremendously with my celibacy. I know that's not your goal but it's a mind thing.

Anyway, I hope these things work for you..if you wish to try them. You can also check out Every Man's Battle books from

as well.

Oh another thing...getting a girlfriend isn't the solution. She may not have the same sex drive as you and you don't want to choose some one based on her ability to keep you from masturbating.

And...one last thing I think it's good that you are seeking a resolution to this. Focusing on sex and masturbation all the time can affect your relationship with a woman and/or girlfriend. It will be hard to connect to w/o making her a sex object and evaluating the relationship based on sex. I think many people make this mistake. They assume good sex = good mate. Ugh no way...and a person's sex drive can change at any moment. So what was good during one year may not be the next.

Also, when you masturbate so much it may be harder for your partner to please you.

Well those are my thoughts...

First of all - there is no harm at all in Mastrebation (unless you use it as a total substitute for participative sex. Then you may have a problem.

You can not harm yourslef with masterbation. In fcat in Australia a health study was carried out and found that amongst a survey of 10,000 men those who masterbated regularly (i.e several times a week) they had the lowest incidence of testicular and prostate cancer. No one is saying it is a cure but it seems beneficial.

I am 58 years old and masterbate at least 4 times a week and have sex with my lady 2 - 3 times a week.

Masterbation is pleasurable - so why stop. Enjoy it and keep on the look-out for love and a partner!!!

First of all... Why would any woman try to advise this guy about masturbaton!

Masturbation once a day by a 27 year old male is perfectly normal. For a 27 year old even one who is having regular sex with a woman, daily masturbation is still within the range of "normal". How many 27 year old men have pre-mature ejaculation problems with their wife/girlfriend?

Want to have prostate problems later in life...don't have regular ejaculations.

I fail to see a problem...

hi i do masturbation 3 times a day iam unable to reduce it.my parents are not allowing me to go with freinds from my childhood and now iam unable to move with my age freinds even my parents stress me to spend time with them.iam fully addicted.i watch femdom every day and want girls to kick my penis like that thoughts.

Lots of interesting ideas, questions and things overlooked. Masturbation is proven healthy to a healthy degree and the studies to show for men that it helps in testicular and prostate cancer are for very obvious but again overlooked reasons. Though a side issue for you, important none-the-less. Like every cell in the body, old out, new in. That goes for minerals as one stated though he said you loose to many. The prostate is loaded with zinc, more than any other place in the male body. If you get a decent zinc intake...terrific but common sense tells you that if your diet is devoid of zinc and you masturbate daily...things won't end so well. That said..beyojnd the psycho physical is the crucial importance of zinc and if you get too much. Your penis will be like a windsock in a any gust and breeze. Far more than that and always overlooked is histamine. Histamine is what generates ogasm for men and women alike as well as glans penis sensations and erections of penile and clitoral tissue. Conversely, if histamine is low E.D. can become and issue among a host of other serious problems from the heart to the brain. Do you have allergies? 95% of allergies are actually Histamine Intolerance and thats caused from things like wine, alcohol in general, sugar, drugs, corn, fungal mycotoxins (in all our food supply and generally not tested) among others things. Google histamine intolerence. So in my view and experience, masturbation is great when considering holistic health and as part of a healthy lifestyle with or without a girl. Like the breasts when suckled by a baby and Iodine not replaced or like the ovaries and thryoid when bromides are taken in, they deplete Iodine and if not replaced....cysts, nodules, fibroids and cancer ensue. Get the baby batter out, but be sure to replace those rapidly lost minerals from zinc to cancer killing selenium the prostate is rich in. If you want to lessen the "urge", lessen the vitamins, minerals and intakes that boost them. If you must..eat more soy. That will dip the urge but the estrogen damage may not be worth it. Pick up some new thoughts, reads, hobbies, with confidence and be healthy. Know doubt you will be fine. I am confident in you and that.
